[ahl-LOH-rah vee ah-spet-TYAH-mo SAH-bah-toh AHL-leh OHT-toh]

💬 Usage Tip: [Vi] means [you all] here, so [vi aspettiamo] is [we're expecting you / we look forward to seeing you]. With one person, you'd often hear [La aspettiamo] in a formal situation.

🇮🇹 In Italy: This is a standard, natural way for a restaurant to confirm your booking details. It often sounds more welcoming than a blunt restatement of the reservation time.
